Background: Gastroenterology (GI) fellows perform endoscopic procedures and are asked to record information regarding the procedure and their involvement. As no standard method for procedure logging exists and retrieval of data can be challenging, we have created a novel mobile device application (MDA) to accomplish this task.

Fellows then downloaded the MDA free-of-charge from the iTunes App store. After 8 weeks of MDA use, fellows were asked to complete the same questionnaire and the NASA task load index (TLX). The study was IRB approved. Results: 11 GI fellows were enrolled. Pre-MDA 7 maintained a pape.. Read More»
